MORE UPDATES (with pictures)










Well, this week has been very busy! We are getting boxes and such for moving, which is supposed to happen in two weeks from today...so Oct 4th...i think. We have accumulated a lot more junk over the last year and half, but i told Ali that i would be much more liberal about what we can throw away this time. Apparently, it was impossible to get me to throw anything away the last time we moved, at least according to Ali.




So, other than that, not much else. Just staying busy with work, school, and Emma. Below are some pictures:

EMMA'S SCARY FACE!

Today Emma pulled a scary face for the first time. It was hilarious. Anyways, here is the picture of her "scary" face. it might be worth noting that when she pulls these faces, they're accompanied by a low sort of 'roaring' noise.

Many Updates!

So it's been a very long time since the last time I posted. Neil was blogging like a mad-man for a while so I thought that Iwould just let him post...but that cam to a sudden end and now I blog when I have time...which isn't very often. So I decided to update everyone on our lives...there are quite a few.
Neil and I have started school again. Neil is taking two classes, he goes to school on Tuesday and Thursday, and I think he's enjoying them. I'm taking four classes. I go to school on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. It's quite an adventure. But it's nice because someone is always home to watch Emma. I just really don't want her to go to a daycare until we have to.
The biggest news of all is.......Neil and I bought our first place. Yes, a place of our own...finally. It's perfect. They're still building it but they should be done in October or November. We're so excited. It's a townhouse in Spanish Fork. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a 2 car garage...it's just perfect. I looked for about 4 or 5 months until I found the perfect place...I think I did pretty good...we got it for a really amazing price too. We are trying to wait until the time comes when we can move in....
Emma had her 18 month check-up yesterday and I was very impressed. Here are the stats. She weighs 21 lbs. which puts her in the 10th percentile, her whole life she's been in the 2nd percentile so that's quite a growth spurt. She is now 31 1/2 inches long and that's the 50 percentile, another growth spurt. And her head circumference is 18 1/2 inches, again 50th percentile. I was glad that she's finally growing. The doctor is concerned, as I am too, that she still isn't talking. We've talked about it before and yesterday Emma's doctor decided to have a speech therapist evaluate her, I agree with this decision. So we are just waiting to set up an appointment. I hope this helps. She isn't dumb and knows exactly what your saying. She knows all of her body parts and a TON of animal sounds...she just doesn't form words. I just think she doesn't want to...I don't know, I'm not the specialist.
But that's what's going on in our lives. A whole lot of fun and new things...we love every moment of it. Going 24/7.
